Wine Spectator is the no. 1 magazine dedicated to wines all over the world. In 2006, they reviewed nearly 13,500 wines from around the world in blind tastings. Nearly 3,000 of them earned outstanding ratings (90 points or higher on our 100-point scale).
The Wine of the Year is Casanova di Neri – Brunello di Montalcino, Tenuta Nuova 2001 produced in Tuscany.
The wine received 97 points and its price is around $70 – there are only 4,830 cases made so I guess this is a good idea for a gift this Christmas.
Same topic on other blogs: Cezar, Andrei and Sebi Buhai.

For the first time in Romania we managed to set up a wine tasting “en primeur”. Cezar was the mastermind behind this and Sergiu Nedelea was the host at Casa Iancului. The event was a success and for the first time we had the chance to bring together (as live persons) some of the users on vinul.ro – we believe the website is a success and has a great power to target its niche. The project was launched with the new look at the beginning of this year and till now we reached over 100.000 wine lovers.
This was the first BTL event for vinul.ro and I hope you’ll see more in 2007. Vali (ZIUA) also writes about the event on his blog – check it out here.
Orlando Nicoara (ex. Netbridge manager) will face the next months a series of attacks and pressures from the NCH Group. The investors had trouble recovering after Orlando left the business this summer – one of the most important issues pointed internally was the fact that the board had no clue about what was going on, as Nicoara was a “one man army”.
Since July, NCH changed their policy and tried to figure out what went wrong. There is a team tracking Orlando’s management and they are committed to use all the methods to get even. The battle will take place on several levels:
- NCH plans to sue Nicoara for bad management;
- there will be a mass-media campaign in order to discredit him (from bad practices to money laundry);
- they will pressure MediaPro in order to fire Orlando;
Some of the things they intend to do are not suitable for the Romanian environment. Attacking Orlando’s credibility can affect the whole industry, not only Media Pro Interactiv. On the other hand, this is a thing “they have to do” and I’m sure they’ll use all the available legal methods.
JOBfest ENO – National Online Event – this is the new product we launched today, after the classical JOBfest fair that took place last week. The event will end on the 21st of January 2007 and during this time we’ll try to provide interviews, articles and online counseling for the young professionals.
As we speak, 50 companies recruit via JOBfest ENO. I’ve also seen the first in-house statistics and it seems that the most wanted employers are ORACLE, BRD-GSG, ACCENTURE and HP.
